Why it matters

Mountain gorillas share 98% of our DNA, yet only a few thousand remain in the wild. They face threats from habitat loss, poaching and the mining of minerals used in everyday electronics. Mystical Mountain Gorillas helps children understand these issues in a positive, hopeful way—showing how learning, empathy and action can truly make a difference.

Bonus content

Once your little eco hero has completed the activities, they can download a certificate to show their friends that they are a real ECO expert! A QR code is included in the kit.
